Dad Layout

Hello friends!  Happy Wednesday!  Today is Wild Wednesday at Scrapbooker's Paradise with a  masculine layout of my dad.


This collection from Kaisercraft called the Garage Days Collection was a perfect match for my dad because in his working days he owned a tire shop and when I saw this collection, I had to scrap a layout with it.




I used lots of goodies on this layout and they all can be found in the Scrapbooker's Paradise Online Store here so please head on over and happy shopping!

Have a wonderful day!

Practical Scrappers February Sketch And Layout

Hello scrappy friends! Today on the blog I wanted to share my layout for the Practical Scrappers February Sketch.  Christine Meyer came up with this fabulous sketch


I immediately wanted to create a Valentine's layout of my son and his wife.


I die cut the heart with my Cameo and laced it with some May Arts ribbon.  The patterned papers and stickers are from the My Mind's Eye Lost & Found Record It Collection.



Thanks for stopping by and I hope you are inspired by the sketch.  Have a creative day!

Never Grow Up Layout

Hello friends!  I hope you are having a good Monday.  Today I wanted to share a layout I created from a wonderful sketch designed by Kristine Davidson for the Creative Scrappers Sketch #261.


I was really inspired by this sketch and I wanted to scrap these photos of my husband and son having fun at the beach on our summer vacation a few years back.


I stayed true to the sketch.  I used some patterned papers from the Rough & Tumble Collection by Carta Bella.  They have such beautiful quality papers.   I love everything nautical and the cute little sailboat paper from this collection was perfect.  I also die cut some sailboat cards, some star shapes and the title with my Silhouette Cameo. Here are some more closeups.






Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have an amazing day!

"Look" Layout

Happy Sunday!  Do you ever get so inspired by a sketch that you have to go straight to your studio and create a layout?  That was me last night.  Sue Sykes shared her sketch for the February Canadian Scrapbooker Sketchy Challenge

 and I absolutely loved it and knew that I wanted to create something with my Cameo and some papers from the Be Loved Collection from Fancy Pants.  I flipped the sketch so I could use a landscape type photo instead of a portrait photo.



I love my son's blue eyes and this is a snapshot of when he was eleven years old.






Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

True Love Layout

Happy Sunday! Today I am sharing a Valentine's Day layout of my hubby and I on our fourteenth wedding anniversary.





This was for design team work at Just Imagine Crafts with the amazing Kreaxions 4 In 1 Punch #905.  I used it with Insert C for the hearts and chevron background paper corners and with the Insert A around the edges of the chevron background for some added texture and interest.  I also added a doily stencil with some modelling paste and some wood and wire embellishments as well as My Mind's Eye Lost & Found Record It Heirloom Collection.

Thanks for looking and have a wonderful day!
